Community members may borrow up to ten items; fines and fees same as above.

Reserves:Reserve materials have been set aside by instructors for class use. These items are kept behind the Circulation Desk and have various checkout periods. Students depend on the availability of reserve materials, therefore, the overdue fines for reserves are higher than other library materials.

There is a minimum 30 minute waiting period before renewing or checking out the same reserve item. This policy is to assure that other students have access to the materials.

If you have a question about fines or a registration hold (library block) please contact David Byars 408.864.8759.

Library materials may be returned to the circulation desk where they were checked out. There is also a book return, located to the left of the Library's main entrance available 24/7.

Overdue Notices:

Library overdue notices and bills are sent to patrons as a courtesy, using the e-mail address supplied at registration.

It is the patron's responsibility to keep the library informed of e-mail or telephone changes.

Please note that whether or not you receive the courtesy library notice, you are responsible for returning your materials by the designated due date and for paying any overdue fines and replacement charges.

Library Blocks:

Patrons with overdue fines totaling more than $12.00 or 5 or more overdue items (regardless of accrued fines), will be blocked from borrowing additional materials and from using the library computer labs.

A library block, or hold, will be placed on a student's record with the Registrar's Office once a patron's library status is blocked.

The library block will remain in effect until the materials are returned and the fines are paid or the replacement charges are paid.
